I notice that there are other users with the crash problem who are using a non-
standard location for the home directory, and using GNUPGHOME in the Environment
Variables to point to the homedir.

As an experiment, I tested moving the GNUPGHOME pointer from the "User
variables" to the "System Variables" section of the configuration screen. It
makes NO difference - gpgex crashes Windows 7 Explorer in both scenarios,
although Kleopatra functions as expected in both scenarios.

Issue 1530 notes that gpgex crashed Explorer (Win7-64bit) when the Environment
Variable for GNUPGHOME is not at the default setting.

I can confirm this! My configuration is customized, and I am not using the
default path.

1 month, and not even a single comment. Am I the ONLY person on earth with this
problem, or the ONLY 1 who cares?

Here is some additional information which may be helpful:
